106. What Does it Mean to HEAL? Exploring the Mind-Body Connection with Kelly Gores

Kelly Gores is an entrepreneur, writer, director, and the producer of the award-winning Documentary, HEAL, which explores the power of the mind-body connection and the body’s natural healing capabilities. With a book and a growing brand sharing the film’s title, she’s one of the world’s leading voices in whole-body healing, natural remedies, and alternative approaches to strengthening our mind-body connection.

She is also the host of HEAL with Kelly, a podcast that inspires, reveals tools, and shares personal stories of the body's ability to heal. Through the HEAL brand, she aims to empower people by sharing knowledge about the remarkable ability and intelligence of the human body to expand our belief of what’s possible and become conscious co-creators with our lives.

Today’s conversation is as empowering as it is relatable, as educational as it is actionable. Kelly’s delivery is all about accessibility and empathy. After experiencing her own mental health struggles in college, she was awoken to the world of ideas outside her own bubble – and began collecting wisdom from around the world to share.

We talk about the magic of manifestation, touch on the rising profile of psychedelic-assisted therapies, the parallels in worldwide religions, and so much more in the complex but down-to-earth conversation. We’ll be watching, for sure, as Kelly continues to make positive moves in this space.
